Calderdale Staying Safe provides support to victims and survivors of domestic abuse in Calderdale

13/10/2026

🖤Today is Coercive Control Awareness Day. It is held on 13 October in memory of Lin Corlett.🖤

⚠️Coercive Control Is Abuse.⚠️

⚠️It mostly appears in intimate or familial relationships.

⚠️It is a pattern of behaviours that can happen at the same time.

⚠️It can come with threats and warnings.
⚠️It can appear as concern or protectiveness. It is not.

The aim is to control another person's life. What they wear. Where they go. Who they spend time with. What they spend their time and money on. What is acceptable to like.

Those experiencing coercive control may feel like
💔They no longer know what they like
💔They cannot make decisions or second guess themselves
💔They may lose interest in things that used to spark joy.

Do you experience such feelings? Does talking about them with your partner or those close to you make you feel worse about yourself?

🖤You may be experiencing coercive control.

It may seem like nothing. Because this is often what coercive control feels like.🖤

The Calderdale Staying Safe team can help you make sense of your situation and find a way out of it.

We are here to listen and believe you. We are prepared to work with you at your own pace.

✍A common myth about domestic abuse is that it only involves physical violence such as hitting, kicking, strangulation etc.
✍Often people don't recognise that they are in an abusive relationship because 'they've never hit me'. However, the effects of emotional abuse, control or coercive behaviour can be just as bad as physical abuse, if not worse.

💜Please reach out to us if you think you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship and would like some help. Our friendly and non-judgemental workers are here to support you.

🌈 Myth vs Reality: Domestic Abuse Doesn’t Discriminate

Myth: "Domestic abuse only happens in straight relationships."

Reality: Abuse can happen in any relationship—regardless of gender, sexuality, or identity. LGBTQ+ people experience domestic abuse at similar or even higher rates than heterosexual people, but often face unique barriers to support, including fear of being outed or not being believed.

No one should suffer in silence. 💬
We believe all survivors—and we’re here for you, whoever you are. 🏳️‍🌈
